Oh somehow I never noticed that "bootsecfile" option. That's probably what I need to use. I was looking at the source to see how the --mbr flag works and thought that there should be a way to do the same thing with the other mbr files.

Thanks for all the advice! I found the mirkes.de Tiny Hexer to be extremely helpful. "dd for windows by John Newbigin" seemed like it was going to be perfect for scripting but I wasn't able to get it to write only 440 bytes (it errors if I give it any blocksize that isn't a multiple of 512). I'm thinking that I may need to write my own little utility that reads the first

I'm trying to make a drive that can boot with both UEFI and BIOS. I've built the drive successfully on my Linux machine, but can't get the drive to build with my Windows machine. The only step that's different right now, is that I use `extlinux --install /media/drive` to install with Linux, and `syslinux.exe --install d:` to install with Windows. In fact, I can prepare a drive with

I just released Syslinux 4.00-pre40. This is now a Release Candidate, meaning that it is on track to be released as it currently is unless I hear back about currently unexpected problems. If you have a chance, please pretty please test it. -hpa

Version 2 of these patches includes optimisations suggested by H Peter Alvin to save bytes: * Use memory-mapped I/O register to read keyboard shift flags * Don't reload DX from memory; move immediate byte to register Tested using mbr.bin.

Good afternoon all! I have a project I'm working on that requires Linux to be installed either to its own partition, or to the partition of a host OS (Windows or Linux). One way works, the other way does not... Use Case 1: In this scenario, Linux is installed to its *own* partition as is syslinux (syslinux -i /path/to/syslinux/files). Afterwards, I 'dd' the first 512bytes of that

I intend to release SYSLINUX 3.73-pre7 as SYSLINUX 3.73 as soon as possible. Please let me know if there are any outstanding bugs with 3.73-pre7 that either haven't been reported or I have forgotten about... it's been a while. -hpa

Hi, I've been working on making a USB key which is bootable via EFI and BIOS, and so far I've succeeded but only by using GRUB on the MBR. Syslinux installs correctly, but because the USB key can only have one partition and its type is EFI protective, it isn't set to bootable on the MBR partition table and so syslinux (mbr.bin) doesn't boot. I've also tried gptmbr.bin

I'm not saying for certain these are the reasons for such dependencies, but they might (and perhaps

I need to create one bootable UEFI disk partition that contains all the space on the disk. The steps must work in a shell script. Ideally with syslinux/extlinux but if not possible then grub. How to do this? Surely it should be dead easy, a handful of lines? Nothing I do works. This is what I have so far: DISK_DEVICE_NAME_CURRENT_OS=hda echo remove all partitions sudo /usr/local/sbin/sgdisk -Z
